In a cave somewhere in the mountains, Wan'er and Cai Yan sat silently on the stone couch in a daze. From time to time, they would glance at each other, but they could only shake their heads together, and then sit there again.

Since they were accidentally captured, Wan'er and Cai Yan have made all kinds of assumptions, and even prepared for the worst, but to their surprise, these masked thieves have not done anything excessive except to arrest them here and lock them up.

Take the cave where they are imprisoned, although it is a cave, it is very clean, not to mention, there is even a copper stove to incense to drive away snakes, ants and mosquitoes. And the masked men who guarded them were also polite to them...... Seriously, at this time, Wan'er and Cai Yan were not so much imprisoned as house arrest. However, it is precisely because of this that Wan'er and Cai Yan's previous horrors gradually dissipated and slowly calmed down.

The threshold door was opened again, and two masked men who knew by their figures were women stepped into the threshold room. One brought food and water to Wan'er and Cai Yan, and the other brought something with a curtain, and hung it at the threshold, obviously considering that Wan'er and Cai Yan were women after all, and there were always some inconveniences, so they used this curtain to help them block it.

After the things were arranged, the two masked women lit the oil lamps on the stone wall again, and then they gave a slight salute to Wan'er and Cai Yanluo, and walked out of the threshold door after gently lifting the curtains, and of course the threshold door was also locked. Cai Yan was silent for a long time, turned his head to look at the lights on the stone wall, and said softly: "It's already dark." ”

Wan'er called out with worry: "Sister......"

Cai Yan sighed: "Silly girl, can't you see it?" Although they arrested us, they were for Yihao. Not to mention anything else, our sisters are all people with outstanding appearances, and if we were ordinary thieves, if we were caught here, I am afraid that they would have pounced on us like hungry wolves. Where is it like this...... What to say? The thresholds were covered with draperies, as if we were treated as honored guests. ”

Wan'er lowered her head and hugged her knees, and the worry in her words was getting heavier and heavier: "The Lord must be in a hurry now...... I remember that when I was in Puyang, I was kidnapped by thieves once, when the Lord rushed into the thief's house alone to fight with the thieves in order to save me. Fortunately, Zixiu Gongzi brought someone to help at that time, otherwise it would ......"

Cai Yan nodded: "I've heard about this." I remember that I was still living in Chenliu at that time, and after hearing about this, I was still disdainful, saying that how could Yihao be so ignorant of priorities for the sake of a maid. But now...... Sister Wan, you are in Yihao's heart. It's not as simple as a maid. If you really have some accidents, Yoshiho will go crazy. ”

Wan'er didn't respond, still sitting there with her head bowed and her knees hugged. However, her hand has not known how many times she has secretly touched the hairpin in her hair, but in the end it hung down weakly. This is not to say that Wan'er is greedy for life and afraid of death, but Wan'er knows very well what Lu Ren will become if something happens to her, and where does Wan'er want Lu Ren to become like that?

Besides, there is a Cai Yan beside him now, in this situation. The nature of women makes her subconsciously have to support each other with Cai Yan to face difficulties. And most importantly, it is not yet to the point of despair. People are often like this, as long as there is hope, they will give birth to the idea of going out and fighting. And Wan'er as a woman. Why wouldn't you fantasize about Lu Ren taking someone to rescue them all?

Cai Yan looked at Wan'er, even if she didn't have an appetite anymore, she still beckoned: "Sister Wan, let's eat something together." Anyway, we have nothing but to eat, sleep and sleep now. There's nothing else to do. I just don't know how long we will be confined to the solitary confinement, and if we eat, sleep and sleep like this, we don't know how many pounds we will gain by then......"

It's a little joke in the midst of bitterness. But Cai Yan came to Wan'er's side with the help of the curtain, and lowered her voice in Wan'er's ear and said: "I can't eat like you, but I have to eat some if I can't eat anymore, otherwise if there is any chance, we don't even have the strength to run away because of hunger, isn't it?" ”

Wan'er looked at Cai Yan, then nodded slightly, and stuffed the food into her stomach with Cai Yan. And after stuffing all the food into her stomach with some difficulty, Wan'er put the food plate between the curtain and the sill door, believing that a masked woman would naturally take it away later. After doing this, Wan'er and Cai Yan squeezed together and hugged each other and slept together. At this time, it is false to say that they are not afraid or worried, so they all need each other to give them a little support and comfort.

Unexpectedly encountered such a thing, they are just two weak women, and they will definitely be frightened. In modern parlance, this means that the psyche is always in a state of high tension. And in such a state, once you relax a little, you will immediately feel extremely tired. Therefore, Wan'er and Cai Yan hugged each other for a long time, and they both fell asleep shallowly.

I don't know how long it has been, Wan'er was in a daze, half-asleep, and suddenly heard someone talking in the cave. When he opened his eyes suddenly, Cai Yan's fingers had already pressed on Wan'er's lips, and he shook his head gently at Wan'er. Wan'er understood, so she didn't move without alarming the person who spoke, and at the same time paid attention to the content of their conversation:

“…… Just order wine and meat? ”

"Be content, don't forget what we're doing, how dare I buy too much?"

"I said, since these two women have been caught by us, why don't you send them to Hebei at night?"

"This is near Xudu, it is Cao Apu's territory, are you really a soldier under Cao Apu's command? Besides, Lu Ren often takes the two of them to inspect each village, and there are many people in this township and village who recognize them, if we are not careful, they will be discovered, and then we will all have to take it in. ”

"Lao Wu is right. When we come, we can pretend to be merchants and homeless people, and no one will notice us, but it is not so easy to return to Hebei with such two beauties. And they can't have any accidents, otherwise what will the third prince use to blackmail Lu Ren into defecting to the third prince? Fortunately, it is very private here, and it will not be a problem for us to hide for ten days or eight days, so we will see the limelight here first and then make plans. ”

"Hey, you said that if we get this trip done, what will the third prince reward us?"

"Needless to say? The third prince has always been very generous to his subordinates, and our benefits will definitely be indispensable when the time comes. ”

"I don't understand, why does the third prince value this Lu Ren so much?"

"You don't understand that. This Lu Ren is a celebrity that even Yuan Gong admires, if the third prince can summon Lu Ren to serve under his command on behalf of his father, won't the third prince overwhelm Tan and Xi? When the time comes, it will be justified to inherit the throne of Duke Yuan. ”

"Oh, I see."

……

Conversations like this went on for a long time, until the men had eaten and drunk enough and went to sleep separately, and the two men who remained there on duty were still talking in whispers about some of these things. And Wan'er and Cai Yan never fell asleep again, and waited until those people were completely silent before whispering to each other:

"Sister, the third son they are talking about, is it Yuan Shang, the third son of Yuan Shao in Hebei?"

"There shouldn't be a mistake. Earlier, Yuan Shao went to the court, hoping to transfer Yihao to Hebei as an official, but Cao Gong did not allow it, and Yihao did not want to go to Hebei. It's just that I didn't expect the Yuan family to use such a plan, wanting to use you and me as a coercion to force Yihao to go to Hebei. But in this way, it also made me understand why they would treat each other so respectfully and respectfully after capturing you and me, because once you and I are humiliated, Yihao's heart will inevitably become a mortal enemy with Yuan Shang, and Yuan Shang wants to recruit Yihao, but he doesn't want to become enemies with Yihao. ”

Wan'er felt relieved at this time, and involuntarily tightened her grip on Cai Yan a little: "If that's the case, does it mean that the Lord won't have anything to do with us?" If the Lord goes to Hebei, everyone will be safe and sound? ”

“……”

Cai Yan frowned and shook her head at Wan'er. What kind of attitude Cao Cao has towards Lu Ren, Cai Yan is actually very clear, after all, she was originally a tool used by Cao Cao to win over Lu Ren. And there are many things that Lu Ren will not tell the simple Wan'er, but he must tell Cai Yan, who will stay in the future, so Cai Yan knows far more things than Wan'er.

If it was at another time, Cai Yan would not say a word to Wan'er about these things, but now Cai Yan knows that she must tell Wan'er, otherwise with Wan'er's relatively simple heart, she is likely to take risks in order to prevent Lu Ren from doing so, and then cooperate with these people to go to Hebei quietly. Maybe in Wan'er's opinion, it would be a good thing for Lu Ren to reunite with him when he arrived in Hebei safely, but now Wan'er obviously doesn't know that it will only completely harm Lu Ren.

After hesitating for a long time, Cai Yan finally whispered in Wan'er's ear: "Sister Wan, things are far from being as simple as you think......

What Cai Yan said next was actually similar to what Lu Ren said when Guo Jia reminded Lu Ren after receiving the arrow book, although there is some deviation in the current situation, but it is almost the same in terms of general truth.

Or should it be said that if it was just Cai Yan, most of them would not have thought of so much, but it happened that some time ago, that is, Guo Jia went to Lu Ren to drink wine, and by the way, when he told Lu Ren that Cao Cao promised to let Lu Ren leave, Guo Jia warned Lu Ren with those words. At that time, Wan'er was not present because she went to cook wine, but Cai Yan stayed by Lu Ren's side, so Cai Yan heard Guo Jia's words analyzing the current sensitive relationship very clearly, and remembered it very well.

It's just that after telling Wan'er about these sensitive interests at this moment, Wan'er's heart immediately rose to her throat and exclaimed: "So, the Lord can't go to Hebei at this time?" Once the lord makes a move, and Cao Gong mistakenly thinks that he is rebelling against Yuan Shao, then the lord will be ......"

Cai Yan's fingers pressed Wan'er's lips again, in case Wan'er screamed in surprise and alarmed people. But at the same time, Cai Yan nodded silently to Wan'er...... (To be continued......)
